The server right now sits there, only root logged in, the eight CPUs are 100% idle as top shows, but the beast makes noise like a 747 aircraft on waiting for take-off. I have to dig into the fan control to see how to switch them off, based on the temperature of the CPUs. Another problem is the disks are mounted in brackets as shown here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Poweredge-R210-II-Websense-V5000-HDD-Cage-1-Bracket-Screws-342783500015-/152192430796 and the screws have been sent to dustbin together with the original disks (when they have been sent for destruction for data security reasons). If someone has access to such original screws, please contact me off-list. Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045
